EXHIBIT 10(iii)(c.1)
EXXONMOBIL SUPPLEMENTAL SAVINGS PLAN

1.    Purpose

The purpose of this Plan is to provide a payment of approximately equivalent value from the general assets of Exxon Mobil Corporation (“Corporation”) to a person participating in the ExxonMobil Savings Plan (“Savings Plan”) who, because of the application of United States Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) sections 415 and 401(a)(17) is precluded from receiving employer contributions to the person's Savings Plan account to which the person would otherwise be entitled.

2.    Benefits

2.1    Eligibility
A person is eligible to receive benefits under this Plan only if the person satisfies any of the following requirements:
(A)    The person becomes a retiree pursuant to section 4.1(A) (relating to age, service and LTD-eligibility requirements) or section 4.1(D) (relating to retiree grow-ins in connection with certain divestments) of the ExxonMobil Common Provisions; or
(B)    The person becomes a qualified plans retiree within the meaning of the ExxonMobil Pension Plan.
2.2    Benefit Formula
(A)    In General
For any participant eligible to receive benefits under this Plan, the value of such benefit is an amount that is determined by notionally crediting on a monthly basis the amount of employer contributions that cannot be made to the Savings Plan for that person as a result of application to that person of Code sections 415 and 401(a)(17). This amount is enhanced in each instance by 120 percent of the long-term Applicable Federal Rate, compounded monthly, as of the last month of each calendar quarter as published by the Internal Revenue Service.
(B)    Notional Interest Rate for Key Employees after Retirement
As to a participant who, immediately prior to his or her retirement, has a Classification Level of 35 or above (“Key Employee”), "120 percent of the long-term Applicable Federal Rate, compounded monthly, as of the last month of each calendar quarter as published by the Internal Revenue Service" in paragraph (A) above shall be replaced with "Citibank Prime Lending Rate as of the last business day of each calendar quarter" for the period between date of termination or retirement and date of payment. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a person with a Classification Level of 35 whose retirement is approved prior to February 1, 2021, and occurs prior to May 1, 2021 shall not be considered a Key Employee.
2.3    Calculation Methodology
The exact methodology used in determining such monthly credits and interest thereon will be established from time to time by the Plan Administrator. General guidelines to be followed are:
1


(A)    Required Participant Contributions
To the extent determined by those administering this Plan, a person is required to make regular employee contributions to the person's Savings Plan account up to the maximum permitted by the Code to receive credits under this Plan.
(B)    Discretionary Employee Contributions
Prior to July 1, 2002, a person may not enhance the amounts credited under this Plan by making discretionary employee contributions to the person's Savings Plan account.

3.    Payment of Benefits

Payment of the benefit determined under article 2 above shall be made in a lump sum as soon as practicable following the latest of the following times:

(D)    In the case of a participant whose Savings Plan account is transferred to a savings plan sponsored by Tenneco, Inc. or any of its affiliates ("Tenneco"), the participant’s termination of employment from Tenneco.

4.    Payment Upon Death

4.1    In General
If a person dies as an employee with eligibility for a pension death benefit under the ExxonMobil Pension Plan or as a retiree but before his benefit under this Plan is distributed to him, then such benefit shall be distributed as soon as practicable after death to the person’s beneficiary determined under section 4.2 below.
4.2    Designation of Beneficiaries
(A)    In General
